Hi Ladies,
I've fallen off the wagon recently, work has been very stressful but that's when I need the balance most. I'm keeping up with my workouts for the most part, but haven't been tracking for the last 2 weeks.
I recruited another cathlete to join our group, but she kindly pointed out that I haven't been here to check in so she has just been lurking. Nothing like a friend to give you a kick-start when needed!
My goal for this week is to track every day, every morsel, measure my food (I'm good at this one), and get to this check in at least every other day. I am attending a conference on Thursday/Friday which will be difficult to keep on track. I won't be able to w/o in the morning on those 2 days, and they provide your meals. I will do my best.
Shereta-so glad to see you are still here motivating us all. Keep up the good work, you are making excellent progress!
Stacy-I'm in the same boat with you. Take each day as they come and do the best you can for yourself. I've heard this before and find it motivating-Is this action I'm about to take going to help me reach my goals? This statement can be used in nearly every situation, whether it be eating, exercising, sitting on the couch, drinking, negative thoughts etc.
Steph-I have most of Tosca's books and although they are not revolutionary, I find them very informative and full of useful information. She is a true success story and shares some details of her personal life. I know what your asking about the mets, but don't have the answer. Wouldn't the met value be individual to each person?
LauraJane-social situations are always difficult. Maybe you could say you are allergic to chocolate...lol. I've read that you should have a plan and it sounds like you do. Try eating smaller portions of whatever is served. Not much help I know.
Have a great day Ladies!
